Gypsy Truths by Kristy Cunning
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Violet the Portocale Gypsy
Honestly she’s really come a long ways compared to when we first met her. As a character, she has legit goals and plans for her life. She working on achieving those goals. And she is surround by dumbasses
“So I did what any angry, drunken mess would do when he’s sick of everything staying the same with nothing ever changing.”
“You opened the box,” I say, my eyes narrowing.
“Of course I opened the fucking box.”
Honestly my favorite part of this series is the dynamic reverse harem. They are fucking hilarious.
We meet Emit the werewolf, Vance the Van Hasling monster killer, Damien the succubus demon, and Arion the original vampire who are basically from the 4 origin monster families
I love how they each have such a unique personality and different relationship with Violet
“Stop fretting, Van Helsing” he tells me as he follows me down.
I’m not fucking fretting. I’m seething with envy.”
Everyone knows I love me some banter. I love the characters interacting with each other— being playful, struggling together, everything !
And this book really worked on that group dynamic which made the plot all the more entertaining to read
“I’m too out of shape for alpha battles, Van Helsing. I’m going to need some help,” I confess.
“Like the Rubio Isles?” he asks, as we both work to fend off our next Vampyre attackers.
Arion’s going to be one pissed off fucking monster.
I’m really starting to understand why Vance stayed on my ass about feeding and staying fit. Fuck my life.
“We sunk the Rubio Isles,” I remind him, straining with effort I don’t have enough energy to be able to produce.
“That was the volcano. Not us.” he argues, taking down one of the eldest and strongest without breaking much sweat.
“Sure. It’s a coincidence that dormant volcano erupted. Saving everybody was a pain in the fucking ass, Van Helsing,” I dutifully remind him.”
My critques… The sex. Bare min. The chemistry. Not even pg13. But the dynamic is just so hilarious that I literally cant stop.
The worldbuilding is fun, the plot entertaining, and the twists intriguing — what keeps me reading is the group dynamics in how wellll doneeee each of these characters are. The plot was entertaining because of HOW these characters went about solving it.
